Cornwall's Crealy
Terry Sandling bought Trelow Farm in Tredinnick and opened the property to the public in 1989 as The Shire Horse Centre. The property was then sold to Crealy Great Adventure Parks in 2004. Crealy has continued to invest in the park in terms of rides, shows and staff. The park attracts approximately 200,000 people a year.
Major rides include Morgawr, The Beast, Raging River and Thunder Falls. Crealy targets younger children up to the age of six. Swampy and Dina are resident characters.
